Van sign-writing is lettering, a logo and contact details cut from coloured vinyl and applied straight onto a van's paint, usually on the sides and rear doors, without covering whole panels in printed film.
Van sign-writing in Peebles: the practical benefits
- Parked on a driveway in Peebles for a day's work, a sign-written van tells the whole street who's doing the job and how to ring you.
- Expanding beyond Peebles into the rest of the Scottish Borders? Adding new areas or services to the lettering is a small change rather than a new wrap.
- Your van probably spends more time on Peebles roads than any leaflet spends on a doormat, so put the money into large, clear lettering.

Rules for vehicle graphics in Peebles
Scotland follows the same approach to vehicle graphics as the rest of the UK. Livery on a van, car or lorry in everyday use is not treated as an advertisement needing consent; the council's interest starts only if a vehicle is parked up chiefly as a sign. What matters instead is the paperwork and the glass. DVLA should be told of any change of main colour through the V5C, and so should your insurer. Light transmission rules set a minimum of 75% for the windscreen and 70% for the front side windows, so our layouts never touch them. Lease or contract hire? Read the terms on graphics and removal first.
